Guest presentations

During the different workshops we have organised a number of Guest presentations around different tools you can use with IIIF. These are optional videos but you may find them useful for your course project. The presentations in reverse chronological order are:

Exhibit

Guest lecture by Andrew Wilson, University of St Andrews and Ed Silverton, Mnemoscene

Andrew and Ed give a demo of their Exhibit tool. Exhibit was developed in response to the challenge of providing an engaging and interactive experience using the museums and special collections. It addresses the sensory and tactile encounters students would have with original material

The Exhibit tool is available at: https://exhibit.so/

Storiiies – a free online storytelling platform for everyone

Guest lecture by Andy Cummins, Cogapp

Take people on a journey round your images. Pan, zoom and annotate points of interest. Whether you are telling the story of an Old Master painting, exploring the cover artwork of your favourite album or teaching a remote cohort the intricacies of an ancient papyrus, Storiiies enables clear, elegant and engaging online storytelling.

In this presentation Andy Cummins from Cogapp will demonstrate both the editing and viewing experience of Storiiies enabling all attendees to begin creating their own stories. He will describe how you can quickly reuse the manifests and annotation lists created by the system in Mirador and other IIIF compatible viewers.

Andy is keen to hear any feedback on Storiiies to help direct future enhancements for the good of the wider IIIF community.
